10 Huge AEW Full Gear Predictions You Need To Know

10. BUY-IN: Britt Baker Vs. Bea Priestley

In its own way, this match is as terrifying as Jon Moxley Vs. Kenny Omega's threat of glass lacerations and head drops from the most disturbing of heights.

Britt Baker is very green, something a receptive and polite audience reaction has masked. Many of Baker's outings are marred in the early going by rough moments of hesitation and miscommunication, and the schedule that works so well for the rest of the talent - they can go full pelt every time because they aren't out there every night - is prohibitive to her development.

Bea Priestley is the former STARDOM Champion. She has a real presence, all nasty body language, and when she reins it in, she can inflict an authentic-looking kicking. She has, however, worn the dreaded dangerous tag with a disturbing frequency. She landed Mayu Iwatani directly on her head just this week, after losing her footing on the top turnbuckle, and has twice injured her very opponent at Full Gear. She concussed her at Fight For The Fallen, and blackened her eye on Dynamite. This has informed a believable grudge, story, and terrific promo on Britt's part - but also a sense of real anxiety.

Bad things happen every time they interact, with the exception of All Out. Their fiery exchanges in the Casino Battle Royale were believably worked.

Baker is the project, but since it's evidently long-term, and looking at the Women's Title picture...
